After only the first five days of availability, the demo for DICE and EA’s Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was downloaded over 2 million times over Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network, says EA, while downloads of the Bad Company 2 PC Beta number in the “hundreds of thousands.”

Senior Producer on Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Patrick Bach exclaimed:

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to hear that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is already in the hands of almost 2½ million gamers, and it hasn’t even shipped yet.”

Be careful what you wish for… Bach continued:

“This massive rush to experience the game early is proof positive that action gamers are looking for more. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 delivers on every front. This is intelligent, strategic warfare that our competitors simply cannot replicate.”

The Bad Company 2 demo is on track to become the fastest downloaded demo in EA’s history, well before the game releases on March 2nd in North America and March 4th in Europe, on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
